Reports: Kansas State fires men’s basketball coach Jerome Tang

Jerome Tang’s time at Kansas State is over.

According to multiple reports, KSU fired Tang on Sunday following the Wildcats’ latest loss. KSU fell to 1-11 in the Big 12 with a 78-64 loss to Houston. It was the sixth straight defeat for Kansas State and came a game after Tang said he was “embarrassed” when criticizing his team following a 91-62 home loss to Cincinnati.

Kansas State went 71-57 in Tang’s time with the school. His buyout for a firing without cause is $18 million, but the Field of 68 reported that Tang and the school were in negotiations.
